Extra Information	Despite the title page of the parts being labeled No.7, this concerto is catalogued by Adolf Meier as No.8 based on approximate dating using, among others, paper quality, and this numbering is retained in its publication history. Viennese tuning, raised a semitone to E♭ major: $\relative c { \key c \major \clef bass \hide Stem \omit Score.TimeSignature < bes es g bes > }$ Thus the solo double bass is written in D major and sounds a semitone higher than usual.
